Sandbox-Bypass Exploits Hacks Java 7u21 Update

Java bug hunter Adam Gowdiak said he reported to Oracle a new Reflection API vulnerability that affects all Java versions. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to achieve a complete Java security sandbox escape. Oracle has color coded its user prompts; blue for apps signed by a trusted certificate, and yellow for untrusted or expired certificates. Oracle also removed the low security settings in the Java Control Panel; users will no longer be able to opt out of the security features built into Java. Of the 42 vulnerabilities patched in the update, all but three were remotely exploitable.
